Description

Eyston Lodge is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It features a timber frame that is plastered, topped by a hipped roof covered in red plain tiles, which includes two hipped dormers. The building is two storeys high with attics and has a rear wing. The first floor has three windows, while the ground floor has four, primarily consisting of 18th-century small paned casements, along with some 17th-century casements. All the ground floor windows are shuttered. A central chimney stack made of red brick is present.

Inside, there are back-to-back Inglenook fireplaces and brick floors. The interior also boasts several notable 17th-century doors, including one that is nailed, and a 17th-century staircase. The ground floor comprises two bays featuring fine moulded and stop-chamfered bridging and ceiling joists, along with one bay that has plainer but still moulded and chamfered beams. The 17th-century frame is exposed on the first floor and in the attic.
